“It seems that Mitchell and Cynthia have a good rtionship,” Chyler observed, trying to probe further.
“Yes, we’ve known each other for a long time. Our rtionship has always been very good,” Mitchell
admitted, not hiding the truth.
Chyler whispered something into Joshua’s ear, so softly it was barely audible. “It seems they’re just
friends. They would have been together long ago if there were any feelings between them. Why wait
until now?”
“Get lost,” Joshua muttered, irritated.
Cynthia was never one to suffer alone; she would make sure whoever wronged her felt ufortable
too.
She turned her gaze to the usually quiet Yiordan, greeted him, and then said, “Yiordan, I think you’re a
man with a strong moralpass, someone worth entrusting my life to.”
Everyone present had no idea what she was doing.
“What do you mean?” Yiordan instinctively looked toward Joshua, who did not look too pleased.
Cynthia brought up the past, insinuating something. “I watched the reality show you were on. I think
what you said on the show was morally upright andmendable.”
Yiordan waspletely baffled.
Chyler asked, “What did he say?”
“They were discussing a hypothetical situation during some downtime afterpleting a task. The
question was whether, after marriage, they would choose to be with their first love if they returned or
stay with their spouse. Yiordan shared his opinion, which I think was spot on,
Cynthia exined clearly, recalling it by heart.

Hearing this, Chyler looked at Joshua, realizing that Cynthia was essentially talking about him.
Yiordan also caught on.
He remembered talking about this on TV. He seemed to have said something like, “I’m not a scumbag.”
Recalling this, Yiordan suddenly thought of the time when Joshua had abruptly called him a ‘ scumbag‘
while having dinner. So, does this mean that Cynthia watched the show with Joshua?
“How did you answer?” Chyler nudged his arm.

Yiordan calmed down, and after briefly thinking, he did not answer Chyler’s question. Instead, he said
to Joshua, “Joshua, I think you’re making a mistake.”
Joshua and Chyler were speechless.
“Are you getting cocky because of the praise she just gave you?” Joshua’s irritation grew.
Yiordan, considering the number of people present, did not speak directly. Instead, he rubbed
his tired brow.
Chapter 14
When he appeared on the reality show, Joshua and Cynthia had not yet had their marital issues, so he
answered the question from an objective perspective.
Now that he knew Joshua was nning to divorce Cynthia for Jayleen, he was certain that Joshua
would regret this decision in the future.
Joshua stood up and reminded the two, “I have some things to take care of. Don’t forget what I told
you.”
The two nodded.
When Joshua walked over to Cynthia, his dark eyes nced at her before he said to Mitchell,” If you
want to be with her, he must be prepared to lose at least half your money and assets. She’s a greedy
woman, this one.”
Mitchell was not joking when he said in all seriousness, “As long as Cynthia needs them, my property is
all hers.”
Joshua’s hands, hanging at his sides, suddenly tightened. Chyler and Yiordan were also surprised by
that remark.
“Then I wish you a happy rtionship in advance,” Joshua said sarcastically before leaving.
Mitchell left with Cynthia to go to the car. Cynthia looked at him with disagreement and asked, “Why did
you say those things to him?”
“I was summoned here by Mr. Yates here to deal with this issue, and he asked me to say that.” Mitchell
replied, lips slightly raised and his demeanor spot on, “But your rtionship is even worse than I
thought.”
“It wasn’t like this before. I don’t know what’s wrong with him today,” Cynthia said, leaning
back in her seat.
“He’s jealous,” Mitchell said.
Cynthia’s lips twitched. She had no hesitation in saying, “You sure can spin a story. His mind is on his
crush; he doesn’t have much of his brain left to be jealous because of me.”
“He’s likely jealous without realizing it. He’ll only realize it after he really lost you,” Mitchell analyzed,
now with a greater interest.
Cynthia fell silent.
“If he asked you to remarry him, would you agree?” Mitchell asked, now more concerned.
Cynthia answered quickly, speaking her mind, “No, if he really does that, I would disagree. I gave him
half a year, but he didn’t cherish it.”
“Okay, that’s good,” Mitchell said, relieved.
“When will you return to Nexuria?” she asked.
“When you get the divorce certificate.”
Cynthia was surprised at his answer.
“This is Mr. Yates’s suggestion. I have two more meetings to attend here in Jiverton,” Mitchell
exined, still smiling.
“Okay,” Cynthia said simply.

Chapter 14
Mitchell was a pioneer in the legalmunity and also had a pivotal position in the business
community. He was like the child every parent hoped for, having won the love of Old Man
Yates.
The two had a great rtionship, and she never interfered with Mitchell and Old Man Yates, even
though their rtionship was not the best. She did not want to let him stop listening to Old Man Yates
either.
The two did not say much more as Mitchell dropped Cynthia off outside the vi’s iron gate. Just before
she got out of the car, he added, “Call me if you need anything. I’ll be here for some time.”
He knew Cynthia’s abilities and believed she could handle her rtionship with Joshua. However,
believing she could handle it was one thing. How Joshua dealt with it was another.
“Okay,” Cynthia said with a small smile.
Joshua watched from the balcony above as the two people below seemed inseparable. His grip on the
railing tightened, and he could not even hear what the person on the phone was saying.
He had one thought in mind.
He had to confront Cynthia and find out how her rtionship with Mitchell began.
“Mr. Neal?” Mr. Cheyne called several times, trying to get Joshua’s attention. “Mr. Neal, are you
listening? Mr. Neal?” he repeated, getting no responses.
“What is it?” When Cynthia came in after seeing Mitchell off, Joshua finally left the balcony with his
phone and walked inside.
Mr. Cheyne was speechless.
So his words just now were in vain, were they?
Despite his annoyance, Mr. Cheyne dutifully repeated his report for the sake of his sry. ‘ The police
just sent word that they’ve apprehended the suspect behind Ms. Shaw’s car ident. Do you want to
go there?” 1
“No, let them handle it ording to the normal procedures,” Joshua replied as he walked downstairs,
determined to clear things up.
Mr. Cheyne was puzzled by his boss’s change of attitude but did not ask further. “Alright.”

Joshua hung up the phone and entered the living room just as Cynthia finished taking off her shoes.
